STS first time!

Good morning!!!

Today's my last day of work then I am off tomorrow and Monday!!

Carolyn, I am 95% normal again. This Sony infection really took a toll on me. Pressure is good an drainage is minimal. In still been tired this week and today my energy level is better today. Glad you got the flight booked. Good luck on the hotel.

Mary, I have not done strength yet. Maybe I'll try that one tomorrow....

Marie, have fun snow boarding. A few hours always is no biggie and some good quality one with DH is priceless. You're a good mom.

Today I did 30 minutes on the rebounder and 30 minutes on the spin bike (10 miles).

BBL.
 
Good Morning ladies! Tim and I went to dinner with my friend and her husband last night...mexican....yummy!

I woke up right on time this morning, and busted out my cardio....I ran on the treadmill mostly! It felt so good!

Tomorrow after work, I am going to me my "competitive" friend.....and we are going to speed walk.....we are training for our next 5k which is April 20th....my last time was 36 minutes....so we are hoping to do 34.... :D She hasent done a 5k walk with me in awhile...so we are training...I think it will be fun to have a friend next to ya! I normally do them by myself, because I am so competitive, I dont want to slow down to stay with them.....but she is my speed....so it will be good!

Tonight, I am going to do Hard Strikes....I am upto some jumping!

Marie---Enjoy your snowboarding! You girls can have this cold weather...I am ill with it....I dont want it anymore....I am ready for the sun!

Carolyn---so glad you booked your flight and didnt have to postpone.....good luck finding the hotel!

Colleen---Glad to hear you are feeling better! You rocked your cardio this morning too! Good job!

Mary---glad you are enjoying UY....

Betty---I dont like AI either! I am more of the drama/horror/comedy type!

Back to work I go.....;)
 
Hi girls,
I took my mom to a doctor's appt, only to find out someone cancelled it on us!:mad: A friend I made tentative lunch plans with also cancelled, so I called the friend who had wanted to bring her Havanese by to my house originally. We ended up going to Restaurant Week. How serendipitous! Had the most delicious 3-course lunch! Zzzzz.

Keep up the great job on the workout front, ladies! We're all so good sticking to our exercise regimen! Pat ourselves on the back!

So glad you booked the flights, Carolyn! That's a big load off your mind. It's so crazy expensive to fly during vacation weeks, so leaving earlier is awesome. It's a great time to get away with this unending winter.
I've not noticed new things with OP; basically just maintaining the awesomeness. I've started doing it once in the morning and once before bed. Opened my giant jug of coco oil this morning. I also moisturize my face and neck with it. It's funny, both my sisters have started it, one having done it a bit longer than the other, but they are not experiencing the 'miracles' like me.;) It's more subtle for them.

Mary, I am beginning to despair that UY will ever get to the rock-bottom price.;)

Colleen, so awesome you have a long weekend to look forward to!

Missy, it's great to have a fitness buddy! Enjoy your time with her. Girl talk and exercise. What could be better?

Marie, snowboarding is a nice way to get fresh air, exercise, and couple time! And grandma will cherish that time with B!
So amazing that Tony is still juicing. If I could get my DH to be more openminded about so many more things....
 
Rebecca Small's Step 2 Success today. Love her stuff :) Complex choreography...my favorite. Speaking of I think I need to get some Amy Bento.

Working now. Pumping break. It was a crazy night. Must have been that full moon. Injections, seclusion, restraints. My kind of shift. Love to stay busy.

Mary- I loved the Strength workout. I agree it was the hardest yoga workout I have done. All the pushups. Felt like I was back doing Meso 1 ;)

Carolyn- Those condos sounds lovely. GET UY :) Enabler alert!

Colleen- Enjoy your weekend! Thanks for the compliment :)

Missy- You are rockin' out those 5k's! Good for you! Glad a friend is joining you. That will be fun!

Betty- A 3 course lunch! YUM! Especially that last course. I heart dessert! Darn sweet tooth.

Hey gals,
Happy Good Friday to those who celebrate it. Where is everyone? It's a school holiday for us, but I don't know who else.

Guess what? I did CM!!! Finally! Yay! Hooray! Definitely sweated buckets! I couldn't do Cathe's moves; most of the time I sat:eek:. In fact, I am still very unsure of my stance and leg/knee positions when I'm standing.:confused: I chose Express because I wanted to also do BS Triceps.

Congrats on finalizing your trip details, Carolyn! What a load off your mind.

Jean, hope your drywallers are finishing up.

Marie, did you say pushups?? Yikes.

Note to self: Must. Do. Preorder.
 
Happy Friday!

No workout this morning, I really needed to give my shoulders/arms a rest. But I went out for a nice long walk at lunch, made it feel like a fabulous day!

Yes, lots of tricep pushups in the UY strength workout, that one might be better to do later in the day when the body is fully warmed up. Travis does a good warmup but it still took me a while as I was doing it in the early morning.

We had a half day of school, we need to make up a snow day.

Still not sure what we are doing for Easter dinner, I don't feel like the traditional fare.

Betty, congrats on CM! I have never done spinning.

Carolyn, the condo sounds great, that way you can do your own thing for food. It will probably be mostly families staying there, don't worry about the noise too much. People on vacation will be out and about.
 
Hi ladies!!!

Happy Friday. Today I did strength from UY. LOVED it. Yes it was hard but boy I tell you thanks to Leah the push-ups have gotten so much easier. Also the side planks. Nailed them! Full enabler alter. Go buy UY so worth it. I'm thinking about going for a walk later.

We are getting ready to color Easter egg and make some brownie bites that look like birds beats with egg in them.

Betty , yeah!!! So proud that you did CM. did you like it?

Marie, great job on the step workout.

Carolyn, glad that you got your vacation planned. I'm sure that's a relief.

Ok off to color Easter egg. Kids are excited.
 
Good Afternoon.....I have been so busy no time to check in.

Mary---I didnt workout this morning either....I overslept...for once....and I have been draging my butt! I really need my morning cardio.....


Betty---Congrats on CM....I am sure you looked awesome! You will get to Cathes speed with time...you have to start somewhere!

It is 70 degrees and fabulous outside....it is going to be so nice to get out and walk after work....then I will go home and shower and change and then Tim and I are going to Tallahassee for dinner and then to Kohls.....I need some new sandles and possibly pants for work....I dont know if they will have anything but fingers crossed! So it will be a late night...but I can rest tomorrow.....

I have 4 weeks till my next 5K....hoping with training several times a week, I can improve my time by a few minutes! :p I am also considering do a 10K run.....6.4 miles...."CONSIDERING"....I am going to discuss this with my friend tonight....she wants me to do it with her.....I have never done a 10K.....but I think....I should at least try once???? right???

Back at work....will check back before I leave....
 
Yes, Carolyn, I've been patiently waiting for your tornado to pass!:D Only teasing, of course. I'm the same way. It's so much simpler to just stumble on one thing and be happy with it. Unfortunately, I cannot operate like that.:confused: I always feel like I need to research every possible avenue, then decide from all available.

Incidentally, I did just about 10 miles with CM yesterday. My most so far. Anyway, it was no biggie by yours and Colleen's standards, I'm sure, since it took 40 minutes. BS Tris were only 13 mins and I wasn't paying attention since I was on phone carrying a conversation with my CA sis. Oh well. Should have done abs too. That would have been nice and rounded.

Don't write UY off, Carolyn. The UY thread on Cathe's forum has a few new posts with people saying how much it helps them sleep.

Missy, 70 degrees is just perfect! Oh, to experience that for more than a month! Here in New England, winter takes long, and summer comes too soon with hot and humid. You can't win.

Jean, your house will be too nice to leave;)!
I suppose you will just paint neutral colors so that future buyers won't be turned off. I really like gray of any kind. Not dark either. I like my colors very subtle. I have a Benjamin Moore spring rain color in my office. It's a hint of green.

Marie, it's nice to do something to remind yourselves that you are a couple first and foremost. How exciting is that. I didn't do any of that for many years.:confused:

Mary, it's so nice to take a walk during the emerging spring. You feel yourself reaching for the sun and warmth, longer days, like a flower/plant after the long dormancy.
Your UY rotation sounds awesome.

Colleen, I did like CM. I don't know why I was procrastinating. I just need to understand how to position myself. Next time I need a larger towel!;)

Say, anyone have a Clarisonic? Which one? Your input please, and where's the best price?;) Sorry, I feel like I might have asked this before??
 
Carolyn, if it bothers you to have workouts that you might never use, then don't get the whole shebang. Me? I want the whole set, even if I don't use it all.

Yes, today was gorgeous! Sunny, calm, mild! So awesome!

Just cut DS's hair. At least I did one thing.

Have a great Easter, everyone.
 
Hi girls!!

Today I did cycle sting. I really pushed myself today and it felt great. I did 17 miles.

Betty, I've been spinning for almost 3 years. So you will get there. It just takes time. I have a clarisonic. I loved it at first but my skin is very sensitive and it ended up making my skin break out. So I am just back to good ole cleanser and I've recently started using a toner which seems to be helping with cleaning out my pores.

Carolyn, glad you got everything planned. I am I my ordering the spin DVD. I just can't justify the other workouts right now when I haven't even used any of the xTrain workouts.

Everyone ready for Easter? I hope everyone had a nice holiday.
 
Quick check in for me...

Athletic training with my workout today. Later B and I took a walk. Felt real nice to get outside.

Have a good Easter everyone!
 
No workout for me either today. We were at my parents house. Hope everyone had a nice Easter. I'm exhausted. Can't wait to go to bed tonight.
 
Happy Easter....a late check in for me today....just been busy!

Lots of yad work as the temps are climbing...oh it was so beautiful. I layed out yesterday...and got some sun....it felt so good. I also had to work in my garden. Weeds...everywhere...got it all ready for the season. We will be transplating in the next few weeks. I already have lettace and onions and carrots growing in the ground.....:D

Last night we decided to go to lowes and buy more wood privacy fence....we have the side yard fenced off from the road and and side...but adding more to section the whole side yard off...so when I lay out...I feel safe! Also, we always put up our above ground pool in late April.....due to all the trees I could never have a inground....too much upkeep.LOL So the side will be private....yeah!

I also bought a few new plants to plant buy out front doorway...gotta go plant them before it gets dark....

I did meet my friend to walk friday night...it was really fun as we are both very competetive.....we had a blast....we are planninh on training deveral times a week till the 5k. :D Were going to kick butt!!!

BTW....I just won a Athleta summer dress on ebay for 14.99....so excited!

I have come to th conclussion that eating potatoes makes me hungry.....I never cook potatos at my house and I dont ever order them when I go out....but we went to Tims parents for easter dinner.....she makes potatos at every meal.....I got home and I am starving....I have eaten pretzels, fruit, and some lunch meat....its crazy, im still hungry! We use to eat with them every sunday....but we have changed that since Tim works 6 days a week...he is normally too tired, and it has been great....because I know I have complained before....eating at there house is far from healthy....I always feel like a fat ass when I come home. LOL:eek:

hope everyne has a nice rest of the day.....gotta go plant my plants real quick....I will catch up tomorrow!

BTW....glad everyone is ordering the new dvds.....I am excited or when they come out!!!:p
 
OMG....I never worked out today! Mark it on the calendar! hehehe

Looks like several of us were bad today! LOL.....I ate like a freakin monster! I am so getting up at 5:45 in the morning....to make sure I get my hour of cardio!!!

Good Night!

Oh....Jean---- I am a neutral girl....I think it is also a difference in the areas we live in.....down here in the south....the bold colors are unusual.....my house.... the walls are all beige! Every room!!!! :) I do remember before we decided to move to Georgia....we were looking in different areas...and all the walls were different colors in different rooms...and Tim and I was like....wow...just not use to that! I do think it is neat....if all the colors tend to somewhat match...I am OCD.....I think everything has to match....literally....I will throw away something and buy the same item in a color to match!!! Crazy I know!:eek:

Okay...off to bed...5:45 comes early!!!
 
CSS plus step bonus and core 1. Went to Tony's Grandparents' for Easter. Ate way too much. Lots of good food! B was quite the hit. He missed his naps today. He didn't want to miss out on anything. Lots of stimulation for him. Thank goodness for breastfeeding so I got some alone time with my little man :)

Off to bed for me....
